Recent Developments in the Synthesis of Metal-Tipped Semiconductor Nanorods

Ethylenediamine-Mediated Wurtzite Phase Formation in ZnS

“…Growth of nanoparticles in the rod form or 1D structure in the case of II–VI semiconductors has been reported earlier and reviewed by Chakrobarrtty and Chan . Some have suggested selective adhesion of surfactants (EN in the present case) leading to the growth of a least passivated surface.…”

Another possibility also discussed in ref 49 is that the small particles are formed initially, which attach to each other growing into a 1D structure without any hint of grain boundaries.…”
